Please, read instructions and be ready to participate actively by providing theoretical support to your script analysis.

Also, please do the first activity at the top of page 23 (writing a dialogue in pairs on an awkward situation between you and someone else). You will need this for the Lab session.

ANSWERING A COMMENT

hello Luciana!
thank u 4 your email
I cannot access the "comment" section for some technical reason, so I´m answering u through a new blog entry...
Yes, u have to prepare those 2 pages on your own if u were absent on the day we discussed them or if I failed to cover them with one of the three groups as we might have missed some lessons.
Notice that some rhythm drills r not even on tape, and that´s why you will not b able to find them among the stuff we did record.
B- safe!

1) Adam and Joe radio show: on the website you'll find a podcast (#44 Telling Anecdotes).  Forward it to minute 18:32, which is where the section on page 19 from the booklet begins:
http://teacherluke.podomatic.com/entry/2009-12-16T01_00_29-08_00

2) 3 medical news reports: Get the NEW page 16 from Carpe Diem or CEH. This is the link:
